This photo sequence has been floating around for some time. Take a close look at those trucks. That's the previous generation Chevy pickup, and even though they marketed it as a "classic" for a short period of time, I believe it's been gone for quite some time. My guess is that's close to four years ago. Wayne Scraba

Now that is only one source but you know the internet is never wrong  I do know that the rail worker was killed in January of this year though.

Re: Rail yard incident
Try 2006. These vehicles would be covered by insurance and the insurance company would get rid of them.

[/ QUOTE ] If any pre-delivery vehicle is involved in any kind of an accident then the vehicle must be "certified" scrap. Generally the salvage yard is required to cut the vehicle in two and prove the VIN has been destroyed - even if there is NO damage to the vehicle and only the transporter was in a minor accident. The real shame is when a trainload of new cars is involved in a minor incident and ALL the vehicles MUST be scrapped. Too many PoS lawyers out there that would love to get a big settlement because the car or truck was "wrecked" before delivery.
